Solution Overview

Problem

Ride sharing applications lack integration of data between separate services, such as physical routing navigation and music streaming, which limits the ability to enhance the user experience through targeted and contextually relevant message selection and presentation.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that integrates data from multiple applications using an authentication token to gather real-time route traversal information and user profile data, allowing for the selection and presentation of contextually relevant messages based on user requests, location, and events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If data integration between separate applications is implemented, then message relevance and user engagement are improved, but system complexity and authentication requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage relevanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An authentication token serves as an intermediary mechanism that enables secure data sharing between the PRNS application and the second application without requiring direct integration complexity. The token mediates access to user profile data and route information, allowing relevant messages to be displayed while maintaining system modularity and reducing integration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If real-time data gathering from multiple applications is performed, then message selection accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage selection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

User profile data is gathered and stored in advance during authentication, before it is needed for message selection. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly retrieve pre-processed user information during real-time message display, improving message selection accuracy without adding significant processing delay during the critical message delivery moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If contextually relevant messages are displayed during rides, then user engagement is improved, but privacy concerns and data security requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidprivacy concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication token acts as a secure intermediary that enables controlled access to user data. It allows the system to retrieve necessary profile information for contextual message selection while maintaining data security and user privacy through authenticated access protocols, thus enabling user engagement without compromising privacy concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple data sources are integrated for message selection, then advertisement targeting is improved, but data integration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement targetingVSAvoiddata integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication token serves multiple functions simultaneously: it authenticates user identity, enables data sharing between applications, and provides access to profile information for targeted advertising. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate integration mechanisms for each data source, simplifying the overall data integration architecture while improving advertisement targeting capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Dynamic message selection and presentation based on integration of data from two or more applications is provided. Data from two or more applications on a first device is integrated utilizing an authentication token associated with the first device. Responsive to a real-time message request associated with an application, a data storage having one or more messages is interrogated. A first message from the interrogated data storage is selected and presented in real-time based on the message request, route traversal information from a first application, and profile data associated with a second application.
